A PSA 10 currently sells for about €3.516,09, raw the card sits at €78,54 — 44,8× as much. Of 5.912 copies already graded, 6 % received a 10 and 30 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns €501,98 on average, before fees and shipping. Rule of thumb: submit when the value at a realistic grade is at least double the raw value — which is the case here. Centering decides it: an off-centre card will not get a 10. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 87 auctions the median was €90,69, across 89 fixed-price sales €82,74. Auctions therefore fetched about 10 % more — worth it mainly for sought-after cards with several bidders.

Half of all sales fell between €43,81 and €78,48, with a median of €61,38. Selling fast lands you nearer the lower end; with patience, good photos and a complete title the upper end is achievable.

The cheapest genuine sales were around €26,90. Offers well below €16,14 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

From real sales: English €69,75 (67), French €64,67 (13). The difference is small — language barely matters here.

lastsold uses only real sales — eBay plus auction houses like Goldin & Fanatics — recent sales count more (recency weighting), outliers and fakes are removed. It's not an estimate but actual sold prices, separated by condition, language and grading.
